ABOUT

Bryony Ella is an interdisciplinary artist working in the liminal space between science, spirituality and social justice.

She paints in the studio, ‘wild draws’ in nature, writes about embodied ecology and creates public realm art installations, often in collaboration with academics following a career in public engagement with science and social history.

Her practice brings together different cosmologies in the search for stories of belonging, community and kinship that take us beyond human-defined borders and binaries, and towards more eco-centric perspectives. At the heart lies a celebration of the human body as an experience that is porous, organic and intimately connected to all living systems. Moving across spatial and temporal dimensions, and experimenting with diverse mediums, her work explores both the joy and the grief of recognising the impossibility of our not belonging in (or to) a natural world in crisis.
